"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Yup, I do the match.com thingie. It's got me one date, in like 4 months!! However i get plenty of winks every week, new ones. So i give it a day and e-mail the chick that winked. Keep the mail simple and try to set up an online chat with them. Usually, most of the e-mails dont even get a response. URGGGHHH


ANy suggestions on this would be great.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Give up on it.

The problem with online dating is that people look at a photo and profile and build up a fantasy impression in their mind, which they can quite literally fall in love with. Unfortunately, nobody can match upto this in real life and it nearly always ends in disappointment sooner or later.

Ditto...

BTDT and have the "shirt" to show I was their...

Not to mention the time wasted in pursuing like that...

Keep in mind (and this is not directed towards you) that if a chick is on a dating site there is a reason for it...

Whether that be she a "psycho"...."desperate" or whatever. It is not worth your time or effort to pursue that...

Some form of social network is still the best way. But it depends on your age. At an older age, online dating is less flaky (at least for me) because the girls are older and more serious. If you're still in college, then online match is just unneccessary.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Two of my good buddies (ages 35 and 40) got on match.com and hook up (read: fcuk or 3rd base) with a different girl about every week.

My suggestion to you is to take some pics of yourself using camera angles that bring out your best.

Good luck!
